Why should you NOT pay a stud fee if she's YOUR dog now and YOU will be the one selling the puppies? If you don't want to pay it, don't. But you won't have any papers and I can't blame the stud owner for not handing them over as a charitable deed.
I know this sounds unkind, but this whole story sounds like a classic case of "Why you should not breed if you haven't any clue what the hell you are doing." How many people have owned this poor bitch in the period of less than 2 months??? What kind of people did you buy this poor girl from?? Stuff like "I didn't know if it stuck".............oh, dear Lord....

It sounds like the original owner bred her to their own stud.
I am looking at some AKC litter registration paperwork now.. The BREEDER of this litter will be the person(s) who actually OWN the bitch ON THE DATE OF THE WHELPING..
So if YOU are the RECORDED owner of her BEFORE she whelps, then YOU will be able to register the litter yourself, and bypass the second person. If not, then whichever-previous-owner-on-record-with-AKC is the person who needs to register the litter.
I'd recommend calling AKC tomorrow and confirming who owned her and when.
As to WHY you should have to pay a stud fee, answer is you don't have to... UNLESS you want to profit from this litter by selling the puppies WITH registration papers. The stud owner at the time of breeding must also sign the litter registration form. Since THEY did the breeding, talk to THEM about why it was done, and the history of your female.
I'd be more concerned with the parent dogs' health certifications, temperaments and titles/pedigrees more than about the papers at this point.. and also the history of this female, and if she has whelped a litter before, what were the results, etc etc...
If you bought this dog as a pet and never intended to breed it, then I'd guess somebody ought to be responsible for passing this mess on to you....especially if things don't go well, and you have a 3AM holiday weekend ER vet visit due to a whelping disaster...
Best of luck with your new dog!

You can be talking to the stud owner and finding out the cost of stud fee, from the sound of the breeders set up/knowledge should not be to much probably $500 or less.
If you decide to pay the stud fee you might want to wait until the pups are born just incase they are black and white or something else not expected.
Doe not sound like he is to sure that "she stuck" let alone by who or what so a DNA test may be considered

Not so worried about the puppies it seems, just being able to sell them without paying a stud fee that would lower the profits.
